+KNetworkConf 0.6.1 - A KDE control Center Module to confiure Network settings.
+Juan Luis Baptiste M. <juan.baptiste@kdemail.net>
+Colombia, 2003 - 2005
+http://www.merlinux.org/knetworkconf/
+
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+1. Introduction
+KNetworkConf is a TDE Control Center module to configure the Network
+settings in a Linux machine. I developed it because I couldn't find any
+application to do this from within KDE, and I think this is a "must have"
+app for a serious Desktop Enviroment like KDE.
+
+KNetworkConf features:
+
+* Configure installed network devices (you can't add new ones for now)
+in basic and advanced mode (ie. don't auto configure broadcast and
+netmask values).
+* Autodetection of wireless interfaces.
+* Configure the default gateway and gateway device.
+* Configure host and domain names.
+* Add/remove DNS servers (/etc/resolv.conf).
+* Add/Remove known Hosts (/etc/hosts).
+
+KNetworkConf works now in 15 different platforms:
+
+* BlackPanther OS
+* Conectiva Linux
+* Debian Linux
+* Fedora Linux
+* FreeBSD
+* Gentoo Linux
+* Mandriva Linux
+* OpenNA Linux
+* Polish Linux Distribution
+* Red Hat Linux
+* Slackware Linux
+* Specifix Linux
+* TurboLinux
+* Vine Linux
+
+KNetworkConf uses the Gnome System Tools (gst)
+(http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/) network backend to find out the network
+values in a platform-independient manner. This backends are a bunch of perl
+scripts that use XML files to communicate with different frontends.
+
+NOTE:You don't need to have GNOME nor GST installed AT ALL to run
+KNetworkConf. The network backend comes included.
+
+2. Requirements
+* KDE 3.1.x
+* Qt 3.1.x
+* Perl
+* libxml
+* autoconf > 2.5x/automake > 1.6
+
+3. Installation
+For installation instructions, please see the INSTALL file, but for
+a quick start you can do:
+
+./configure
+make
+su root
+make istall
+
+Mandriva users must add --prefix=/usr to the configure script to
+install the files in the correct path and run update-menus after make install.
+
+4. Contact
+To report bugs or if you have any comments or sugestions about KNetworkConf,
+please write to the mailing lists knetworkconf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or
